Does the killing of Ibn Khatal while clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah indicate that it was draped in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, the questioner says: Al-Akhtal was killed while clinging to the curtains of the Ka'bah.

The Shaykh:
Ibn Khatal. Al-Akhtal was the poet of the Christians. Yes, Ibn Khatal. Yes.

The questioner:
He says, may Allah keep you safe: Is there evidence that the Ka'bah had curtains in the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?

The Shaykh:
Since the Ka'bah was established and built, it has had curtains. This is a distinctive feature of the Ka'bah, whereas other walls and buildings are not covered except out of necessity.

The questioner:
He asks: What is the difference between the kiswah (covering) and the curtain?

The Shaykh:
How? The curtains of the Ka'bah are the kiswah of the Ka'bah. Yes.
